The Rental Blacklisting is available to list your tenant on either TPN or TPN and TransUnion Credit Bureaux.
There are certain requirements before loading a blacklisting:
-
You must send the defaulting tenant a written letter of demand that specifically states your intention to blacklist on the bureaux. (the TPN letter of demand is sufficient for this purpose)
-
The tenant must be given 20 business days to rectify the breach - regardless of whether a 20 business day or 7 day letter of demand was sent.
-
The tenant must be in default for three consecutive months.
The workflow is as follows:
-
Log onto TPN.
-
Select My Data from the blue ribbon at the top of the screen.
-
Search for a tenant by inserting either the address (or part thereof), the tenant’s name / ID number (or part thereof), or the reference number. Click the Apply Filter button.
-
Select the tenant by clicking on the Reference Number to the left of their name.
-
Select Blacklistings from the left hand side menu, underneath Listings.
-
Click Add a new blacklist record for this tenant.
-
Enter the default information:
-
Default Date: This is the date payment was due.
-
Rating: The rating for the default. Generally, we recommend selecting on underneath the heading TPN and TransUnion (optional) listing as this will have a greater effect on the tenant's credit record.
-
Amount Due: How much the tenant is owing.
-
Reason: The reason for the blacklisting - e.g. "Non-payment of rental for three months."
-
Update the Associated payments of the tenant for the last 6 months.
